On the way home, in a sparsely populated place, Zheng Bang asked Xiao Qiongzhi to take out the piece of Tai Sui meat in her arms and cut it into two pieces with a dagger, one for himself and one for Xiao Qiongzhi.

When Xiao Qiongzhi put away her piece, he gently admonished: "Zhi'er, for hundreds of years, no one in Chu or the entire Great Xiao has ever caught Tai Sui or owned Tai Sui meat. ”

"Legend has it that it is the most precious treasure in the world, with unparalleled recovery ability, and the injuries on the body can be healed in only half a day. Even if ordinary people eat a bite, they can come back to life and prolong their lives. ”

"Your piece of Tai Sui meat, you must take it well, keep it for yourself to enjoy, and don't let anyone know, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi nodded cautiously.

Zheng Bang also said: "There are two ways to eat it, one is to eat it raw, and the other is to add water to boil soup and take it. ”

"As far as I can say, it can't be stored in gold or silver boxes, but it is suitable for storing in wooden boxes or jade boxes. When I get home, I'll make you a small wooden box to store it in. ”

"You can usually take it directly with you, or you can put it in the small secret room I gave you."

Zheng Bang was relieved and didn't say more.

At the end of the Shen period, the two returned home.

Liu Wuxiu, Zhou Dayong, Gouzi, and Shi Shi were all in the courtyard, sitting in a row, busy peeling mountain chestnuts, only Chu Yunniang was cooking dinner in the kitchen.

Zheng Bang handed over the small piece of Tai Sui meat cut in public by Baibao Lake to Chu Yunniang, and told her that she didn't need to put anything else, just add a floating water, put it in a clay pot and cook it over a slow fire for an hour.

When you boil until you have only a bowl of soup left in the can, you're done.

Chu Yunniang hurriedly did so.

Xiao Qiongzhi moved a small stool, sat by the stove, and watched Chu Yunniang busy with this.

"Zhi'er, you see, this Tai Sui meat, although it looks very much like a pig's brain, looks wet, but when it is washed, it looks like dried bamboo shoots, not only is it not wet, but it can also absorb water and become bigger - oops, it sticks to my hands and can't be torn off!" Chu Yunniang was holding Tai Sui meat while cleaning and talking to Xiao Qiongzhi when something suddenly happened.

Xiao Qiongzhi immediately remembered that Patriarch Liao had said yesterday that when Liao Chong caught Tai Sui and was dragged down the lake by Tai Sui, his entire body, hands and feet seemed to be stuck by Tai Sui and he couldn't move.

Before, she took Tai Sui meat out of Zheng Bang's arms and cut it, but this situation did not occur, but she forgot about it.

It is estimated that this Tai Sui must be in the water to have the ability to adhere.

She hurriedly grabbed a handful of dry straw from the firewood stack next to the stove, wrapped her hands, and pulled the Tai Sui in Chu Yunniang's hand.

Unexpectedly, the piece of Tai Sui meat in Chu Yunniang's hand was obviously only two fingers wide and two fingers long, and it actually had super adhesion, and she tried her best to eat milk, but she couldn't tear it off.

It was Chu Yunniang, who seemed to have a little finger pain when she pulled her, and inhaled straight in her mouth.

In desperation, she had no choice but to shout outside the kitchen: "Uncle, come here, my mother's hand is stuck by Tai Sui!" ”

Zheng Bang soon heard the sound and rushed over.

He carefully looked at the Tai Sui meat in Chu Yunniang's hand, pointed to the place where it was sticked, and said to Xiao Qiongzhi: "It's starting to be red and swollen here, you can't pull it hard, you have to find another way, otherwise, even if the Tai Sui meat is torn off, the skin and flesh of your mother's finger should also be torn off!" ”

"Uncle, do you have any good ideas?" Xiao Qiongzhi immediately asked.

Zheng Bang shook his head: "No, what I have read about Tai Sui's ancient books, there is no mention of Tai Sui's stickiness at all." ”

"Doesn't Tai Sui like to eat chicken fat? Uncle, why don't we kill the chicken we bought the day before yesterday and try it with chicken fat! Xiao Qiongzhi suddenly had an idea and reminded him excitedly.

"Okay." Zheng Bang immediately did so.

However, after he killed the chicken, the piece of Tai Sui meat had automatically fallen from Chu Yunniang's hand.

It seems that things are exactly as Xiao Qiongzhi thought before, Tai Sui has to be in the water to have the ability to adhere, and now, the water in Chu Yunniang's hand is gradually drying up, so it can't continue to adhere.

Xiao Qiongzhi glanced at Chu Yunniang's two fingers, and found that the place where Tai Sui had adhered was not only red and swollen, but also swollen quite high, so he picked up Tai Sui's meat and threw it back into the wooden basin to wash.

"Zhi'er, my hands are out of the way, don't wash them." Chu Yunniang was afraid that she would get her clothes wet, so she immediately followed her example, took a dry straw bag from the firewood stack, and rushed to wash it.

When the time is right, everyone eats as usual.

Chu Yunniang stewed the chicken that Zheng Bang killed, fried a plate of wolf liver from the last time, fried a plate of Chinese cabbage, and the pine nut fish brought back by the patriarch of Xiao Qiongzhi, the dish was very rich.

When eating, the dog still behaved and divided the pine nut fish with everyone before eating the rest with the stones.

As for chicken, wolf liver, Chinese cabbage or something, because Xiao Qiongzhi didn't deliberately let them eat it, they didn't use their chopsticks, or Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu, they ate as much as they wanted, which was quite well-behaved.

Xiao Qiongzhi was very pleased.

At the end of the unitary time, the Tai Sui broth was boiled out.

Zheng Bang is sitting under the lamp, using wooden blocks to make small wooden boxes.

When he saw Chu Yunniang bringing the Tai Sui broth to the table, he said calmly: "This Tai Sui broth should be divided into three small bowls and given to Sister-in-law Liu, Zhi'er, and Dayong respectively." ”

"Okay." Chu Yunniang immediately did so.

Liu Wuxiu immediately found four more small bowls as soon as she got the small bowl of Tai Sui broth in her hand, and planned to distribute them to Zheng Bang, Chu Yunniang, Gouzi, and Shishi to drink.

Zheng Bang saw her intentions and reminded lightly: "The internal injuries on your body are very serious, if you don't drink this bowl of Tai Sui broth, you should not live for four days, if you drink it, if you are lucky, you can live for one or twenty more years, if you are unlucky, you should only live for ten more days." ”

Liu Wuxiu was startled, and her face turned white.

Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly comforted her: "Aunt Liu, don't be afraid, I have been hiding from you before, and the internal injuries you have suffered, just like my uncle said, are indeed very serious." ”

"However, Tai Sui meat can come back to life and prolong life, one or twenty years together is thirty years, as long as you drink your bowl of Tai Sui soup, you can live at least thirty more years."

"As for my mother, my uncle, dogs, and stones, they can drink with me."

After speaking, Xiao Qiongzhi was about to pour the Tai Sui broth in his bowl into the four small bowls.

Zheng Bang immediately stretched out his hand to stop it: "Zhi'er, don't pour it out!" Have you forgotten that you were injured and lost your memory by the people of Chu Mansion last time? This should be a very serious brain injury, maybe drink this bowl of Tai Sui broth in your hand, and you will be able to recover all your memories! ”

Xiao Qiongzhi forgot about it.

He hesitated.

Zheng Bang took the opportunity to lean into her ear, and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "The meat we cut from Tai Sui today, because it is far away from the shore, the people on the shore can't see how big that piece of meat is, so I asked you to quietly divide it into two at that time." ”

"Patriarch Liao and the people in his village trust us very much, they must not have imagined that we would do this, but it is difficult for others to say."

"Although Tai Sui has an unparalleled ability to recover, and the injuries on his body can heal in just half a day, but the heart of defense is indispensable."

"The fact that you were injured and lost your memory in Chu Mansion is well known; I also know how much I value you; This time to cook Tai Sui broth, you should drink it in a small bowl, otherwise, if someone knows about it, it will be more suspicious of us hiding secrets. ”

"Okay, uncle, I understand." The stakes are very high, Xiao Qiongzhi is not good to refuse, so he has to obediently drink his own bowl of Tai Sui broth.

When she drank to the bottom of the bowl, she found that the piece of Tai Sui meat was lying at the bottom of the bowl.

This must have been deliberately arranged by Chu Yunniang, after all, the three bowls of broth were all divided between Chu Yunniang and her, Liu Wuxiu, and Zhou Dayong.

She quietly grabbed the Tai Sui meat, put down the bowl, walked to Chu Yunniang's side with her hands behind her back, and then forced the Tai Sui meat in her hand into Chu Yunniang's mouth, and covered Chu Yunniang's mouth, not giving Chu Yunniang a chance to spit it out.

Chu Yunniang had no choice but to swallow it.

Xiao Qiongzhi was relieved.

Chu Yunniang was also injured by Chu Mansion last time, Tai Sui broth is limited, Zheng Bang did not arrange for her to drink, and now, he gave her Tai Sui meat, which should also have some benefits.
